First, shell scripts are not portable. You have to be very careful which
language constructs you choose to use. It's very easy you suddenly use a
language construct that is an extension only available in a particular
shell.
Then I think you mean those extensions aren't portable. :)
Also, the script is written for zsh which is fully compatible with
bash, which is available practically everywhere.
Nope. But say D script would indeed run on all interesting platforms.
"Nope" is not a very convincing argument. :)
D is most certainly *not* available on all interesting platforms yet,
unless x86 is the only interesting platform to you...
"which is available practically everywhere." Is not an argument, it's a common
*NIX ignorance.
Not aimed at you in particular, but most folk do the same all the time.
When the Q is `create upload & update tool for D` then most definitely D
at least works on that platform ?
In fact I'm interested in ARMv7 also but given the discussion it's
pianly obvious that it's a dev tool to work on currently supported
systems. I don't recall ARM being officially supported on any D compiler.
